Default Re: Comments please O8b hand

with this starting hand it is more than likely that you will only be playing for half of the pot, your preflop raise in a higher stakes game will likely eliminate many hands but here i think that there may be enough people that would be willing to cold call a raise that may warrent doing so. all in all i think a call would be a better play as it will give opponents odds to call. the flop missed you completely, you need to hit runner runner for 1/2 the pot. imo its time to fold. on the turn, you hit 2 pair which is likely beat as the only thing that you can beat is 6's and 3's. river card is terrible for you and you correctly fold. here is why a fold is correct on the flop, many times (like what we have here) the turn card can suck you in just enough to keep you in the hand even though it is a losing situation, by folding a flop that hits you like the one did here you will eliminate these situations which can be bankroll killers. that being said, for those who are learning the game, this is an excellent example of a flop that may hit you but not enough to continue, great post.
